Fans were left disgusted by Ronald Koeman’s repulsive act on the bench during Holland’s Euro 2024 opener against Poland. The camera captured the Dutch manager rubbing his nose before wiping his hand and then sticking a finger up his nose before putting it in his mouth. The act, caught on live television, prompted strong reactions from viewers.
One fan reacted, “Why did he eat it like it was a tasty snackðŸ˜,” while another added, “Bro got caught lacking in front of millions of people ðŸ˜.” A third wrote, “Disgusting 🤮,” and another commented, “That’s wild 😂.”This incident is reminiscent of Joachim Low’s infamous nose-picking while managing Germany and Maurizio Sarri’s similar act during a conversation with Jose Mourinho.
Despite the incident, Koeman masterminded a comeback victory for Holland, who beat Poland 2-1. Liverpool star Cody Gakpo canceled out Adam Buska’s opener with a deflected effort, and substitute Wout Weghorst netted a late winner. Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen made a last-gasp save to ensure the win.
